Movers & Shakers: August 18, 2015
Botswana: DCI -0.04%, USD 3.3m
Outside of yet another Choppies cross at 550t (local buyer, foreign seller) the market was extremely quiet.
Kenya: NSE 20 -0.30%, USD 5.1m
Another dull day in Nairobi as the sluggish market could just not get going. The main action was a cross in BATK (local seller, foreign buyer) which accounted for more than 40% of the market activity. That tells a story in itself. In normal trading there was not much to write home about as all the large caps (Safcom, KNCB, EqBnk and EABL) continue to soften.
Mauritius: Semdex -0.20%, USD 2.43m
Some chunky action in SBMH (-1.1%, Rs0.86) was about the only thing to note in a mostly dead session. Hardly anything traded in any other names including MCBG (unch, Rs217.00).
Nigeria: ASI +0.68%, USD 18.1m
Dangcem (+4.97%, N180.00) dragged the ASI out of its recent weakness although the rest of the market continued to plummet. Banks fell by another 1.07% today with most names continuing to struggle. Action was centered in GTB (-1.32%, N22.40) and Zenith (-1.52%, N16.20). The consumers (-78bps) spent the day on the back foot with Nestle (-24bps, N840.00) heavily dominant. There was also a large cross in Wapco (-1.50%, N101.50).
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.91%, USD 1.18m
The ZSE continues to weaken while volumes remain thin. Today there was some muted action in Econet (29c), Innscor (62c) and Seedco ($1.0475c) while Delta continues to soften (89.5c).
